+1 on Kershaw. I used an oso sweet as an edc for must be 8 years, still going strong. Never butchered or skinned with it but it got used hard.

thanks for all the advice. I bought an EKA Swede 10. THe retail therapy box has been ticked for the month.

Very sensible choice.

For folders I am a fan of Opinel, although I tend to break the tips off somehow, and the Svord peasant because of its niftyness, although the handle needs a lot of work to make it comfortable and the blade does need som reprofiling to be good - but I am hardly ever satisfied with anything straight out of the box so could just be me.

I personally prefer a small fixed blade (or a big fixed blade and bugger the weight) to a folder though, just seems like less to go wrong, although I usually pack a leatherman when I go bush - can do a lot with one of those little nuggets. And a fixed blade.

Nice, I'm happy with mine. Grippy so I don't drop it and bright orange so when I do drop it I don't lose it. That was the most important bit but it works well as a knife too... Not the easiest to clean but what folder is.
